How do I change the status of a document?

Change Document Status

Open the document you want to mark as final, click "File" and then select "Info" from the left pane. Click the "Protect Document" button and then choose "Mark as Final" from the menu. Click "OK" when Word warns you that the document will be marked as final and then saved.

What does clearing drafts mean?

A draft to which no documentation has been attached.
